So, the pictures are not in any order at all....I am to tired to put them in their proper sequence, so just bare with me.......:-)
Aubrey turned 3 this past week! We were very happy to have Grandma Tingey here to celebrate our birthdays (our= mom, dad, Aubrey). Besides the fact that the girls were sick and Grandma had her purse stolen (which as all women probably know, contained pretty much her whole life!), it was a great visit. Really, it was fun to have her here and to visit. She treated us all for our birthdays, and that is always fun. Hopefully next time she comes, the trip won't be so eventful. Thanks Grandma Tingey!!!
One thing about sick kids, we didn't leave the house much so we were able to work on some projects. Grandma crocheted, which she does very well. I worked on nursing cover-ups. And Aubrey worked on my curtains (you will see a picture below of her work).
Aubrey with all of her Birthday goods!
Even Wesley got to pick out a toy. He even shares it with Aubrey, sometimes.
It took Aubrey a few tries to blow out her candles. It was so cute to watch. She'd fill those cute little cheeks up with air and then blow.....but nothing would happen. lol She did finally get it. It was so funny. All she wanted was a "pink" cake. She was very pleased with what she got.
Brady had his own personal cup cake, Black Forest Cake (with out the chocolate shavings.....ooops!) I was hoping to take him climbing on his birthday.........but that was the day of the whole purse theft incident. I owe him!!! We did have a nice Chinese dinner that night though at one of our kids favorite places to go, Chef Chan's. How sweet is he? He chooses to go where the kids want to go and will eat on HIS birthday. ;-) That's my man! Always thinking of others.
Here is a little peek into my lovely curtain!!! There are seven cuts total, the longest being about 3 inches long. Lets just say I freaked out a little over this. I screamed and scared the poor girl half to death and then grabbed her and took her up to her room and told her, for her own safety, she better stay put for a while. Drawing on walls and furniture, and now this???!!! Honestly, I was upset about my curtains, just like I get upset about her art work on my walls. But, it is just stuff. I want her to learn to take care of things, and not destroy them. But I also realize she is probably just curious. She sees me cutting and sewing, and she wants to try it. I don't want her to feel like my "stuff" is more important then her, but I want her to respect me and the things we have in our home. So, she did get in trouble. And then I had to make sure she knew I love her, I just don't love that she cut up my curtains!!!! *sigh* My mother-in-law took me to Wal Mart last night and we got some stuff to patch them up....so hopefully they will end up okay!!!!!!!!
